This wide-legged style was all the rage in the ‘70s and has been bought back for SS11, spotted at Marc Jacobs, Salvatore Ferragamo, Clements Ribeiro and Bensoni.

Modernise the look by substituting platforms with wedge heels and wear with a high-waisted skinny belt to make your legs look that much longer.

We love this silhouette as it’s flattering and forgiving for most figure types.  Plus, unlike skinny jeans, these floaty trousers are actually comfortable!  If you really want to have fun with the trend, go for quirky prints and paper bag waists!

Always opt for a light fabric to keep you looking summery and feeling cool. Keep it simple up top with a loose blouse worn tucked in.

Height is essential for this look to work, so unless you have never-ending stems, pair with heels. And don't forget, go as wide as you dare.
